A lack or an excess of refrigerant can cause the unit to stop. Charge the
system with the appropriate amount of refrigerant. When servicing, always
check the information concerning pipe length and amount of additional
refrigerant at the refrigerant volume calculation table on the back of the
service panel and the additional refrigerant section on the labels for the
combined number of indoor units (Refer to item 9.2. for detailed information

BC controller has been connected, a refrigerant leakage test has been
performed, and the evacuation process has been completed.
d
Braze only with non-oxided material. Failure to do so may damage the
compressor. Braze using nitrogen purge.
Do not use any commercially available anti-oxidizing agent, because it
may cause pipe corrosion and degrade the refrigerant oil.
Contact Mitsubishi Electric for more details.

Never perform piping connections when raining.
Warning:
When installing and relocating the unit, do not charge the system with any

- Mixing different refrigerant, air, etc. may cause the refrigerant cycle to
malfunction and result in severe damage.

the refrigerant oil.
Do not use the tools shown below used with conventional refrigerant.
(Gauge manifold, charge hose, gas leak detector, check valve,
refrigerant charge base, vacuum gauge, refrigerant recovery
equipment)
- Mixing of conventional refrigerant and refrigerant oil may cause the
refrigerant oil to deteriorate.
- Mixing of water will cause the refrigerant oil to deteriorate.
- R410A refrigerant does not contain any chlorine. Therefore, gas leak
detectors for conventional refrigerants will not react to it.
Manage tools used for R410A carefully.
- If dust, dirt, or water gets in the refrigerant cycle, the refrigerant oil will
deteriorate.
Never use existing refrigerant piping.
- The large amount of chlorine in conventional refrigerant and refrigerant oil
in existing piping will cause the new refrigerant to deteriorate.
Store the piping to be used during installation indoors and keep both
ends of the piping sealed until just before brazing.
- If dust, dirt, or water get into the refrigerant cycle, the oil will deteriorate
and the compressor may fail.
Do not use a charging cylinder.
- Using a charging cylinder may cause the refrigerant to deteriorate.
Do not use special detergents to wash the piping.
